Step-by-Step Instructions

4 Easy Steps
1

Upload Your Photo

Open the Remove Background tool and upload your photo (JPG, PNG, or WEBP). Portraits, product shots, and high-contrast logos work best.

Pro Tip: For optimal results, ensure the subject has decent lighting and contrast against the background.
2

Inspect Your Clean Cutout

The background is removed automatically with natural, smooth edges. Use the split compare slider and zoom controls to inspect fine details like hair strands or product borders.

Pro Tip: Drag the split slider back and forth to compare the original photo with the cutout in real time.
3

Choose Background Output (Transparent or Solid)

Keep the checkered transparent canvas for a transparent PNG cutout, or pick clean studio white, product gray, or a vibrant brand color from the palette.

Pro Tip: Amazon and eBay require pure white backgrounds (#FFFFFF) for product hero images.
4

Save Your Transparent PNG

Click 'Save Cutout' to export your crisp PNG directly to your computer or phone. You can also process an entire batch of product photos at once.

Pro Tip: PNG format is required to preserve transparency; JPG does not support alpha transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is PNG required for transparent backgrounds?
The JPEG format does not support an alpha transparency channel. To keep the background transparent for overlays, logos, and stickers, the file must be saved as a PNG or WebP.
Is there a limit to how many images I can process?
No. iEditPDF is completely free and runs directly on your machine's hardware, meaning there are no daily credits, token limits, or watermarks.
